The Difference Between a Latte and a Cappuccino


Probably the most asked question at any coffee shop is "what is the difference between a latte and a cappuccino?" Often, those who order cappuccinos are expecting a 7-Eleven type cappuccino, which is actually not a cappuccino at all. If you're one of the customers who refuses to pay for something you don't want, you may say something. On the other hand, many people leave disappointed with their drinks, and maybe even throw them out instead of drinking them. In an effort to combat this problem, especially when The Funky Brewster visits your business meeting or office event, I would like to provide an explanation of each type of espresso beverage. Just to warn you, though, this is a standard definition, but your drinks may vary depending on where you get your coffee!


"In this country, cappuccino is a serving of espresso (about 2 ounces) with essentially similar amounts of milk and a rather stiff milk foam. Caffè latte is a serving of espresso with about three times as much milk, topped with a short head of foam. So a latte is milder and has a milkier taste." (Obtained at http://www.ochef.com/)


I hope this helps ease your coffee-ordering anxiety! And remember, you will always get a consistent drink with The Funky Brewster, so if you don't like foam, definitely order a latte!
